Set in the lush landscape of one of Australia’s oldest and most acclaimed wine regions, the Twilight Food Affair is regarded as one of the most significant community gatherings in McLaren Vale and is an important fundraiser for the school.

The event has continuously upheld its commitment to supporting local food businesses and maintaining its authentic, family-friendly vibe for more than 18 years.

Families everywhere are invited to pack their picnic rugs and head to the southern vales for this magical night of family fun amid the vines.

Parking on site is available for a gold coin donation and entry to the event is free.
